University of Northampton Code of Conduct for school visits
We very much hope you enjoy your experience and your students understand what the positive aspects of studying at university can have on their futures.
While on campus, the students from your school are your direct responsibility. At no time should they be left alone or with members of the University team without school staff supervision. Students should not be allowed to wander around the campus unsupervised, unless they are year 12/13 students and pre-arranged with the UON team.
This is a learning environment where teaching is always in operation and the conduct of your students should reflect the need to respect this environment. Should the conduct of your students not comply with these expectations, we anticipate that the adult in charge of the group will manage that conduct effectively and quickly to prevent disruption to the group. If this does not happen, one of our team will prompt the staff member in charge of the group.
We anticipate that your group’s conduct during your visit will be of the highest standard, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to the UON team.
Anticipated Standard of Student Behaviour
School staff are responsible for the behaviour of their students during activities, workshops and performances lead by the University of Northampton (UON) on campus and in your school setting. UON staff, students and representatives of UON facilitating activities for schools will not accept rude, offensive or disrespectful behaviour. Should this occur, immediate suspension of the activity will occur, regardless of whether the activity has been completed. If there is a cost to UON in facilitating the activity, the school may be charged as a result of this behaviour.
Please ensure that staff always remain present in the room, unless other arrangements have been made with the lead UON staff. It would be very helpful to the delivery if all staff in the room were spread out to manage behaviour and take responsibility for the actions of their students within the room.
